Zac's passive should be reduced at later levels like Aatrox

Right now his passive has a cooldown of 300 seconds at all levels. I feel that's just too long late game. Zac isn't that weak though which is why I think this would be a good touch to his kit. As someone who dives in fights as often as and even more often than Aatrox the reduced cooldown on his passive would open up more risky initiations later on in the game. Plus if we're all honest Zac's passive is just a worse version of Aatrox's in most situations. And with that type of buff it'd sit him pretty, cause he's at a decent spot right now.

Zac's passive is indeed an inferior version of Aatrox's passive, but Zac has many more perks over Aatrox: Better tankyness, more consistent (but lower) damage, more CC, more disruption...

Yeah that is true but 5 minutes on his passive in the late game is still pretty long. They probably wouldn't even need to reduce it that much to make it strong in the late game.

Aatrox is receiving this buff because he's in a very problematic spot. He is one of the most gold and level dependant champions in the game due to his extremely low base health and health per level (Aatrox has about the same hp as Ashe). When behind in levels and items it can be almost impossible to get back in the game as Aatrox because all the fed assassins and carries will just oneshot you even before you get the chance to start the fight.

Zac doesn't have any of those problems. He's naturally tanky and when you finally tear through all his HP you kinda deserve to have a chance to finish him off before he revives to 70% hp. He's generally more survivable than Aatrox because his E can also be a 2000 range escape. Also, he's much cheaper to build than Aatrox and it's harder to fall behind in levels as Zac.

Well buffing his passive cooldown isn't going to really help him with his large problems. They should focus on buffing parts of him that would help the spot he's in of being a squishy tank that deals a little bit of damage. The reason I think they should buff Zac's passive is because he doesn't have any other problems aside from low damage but as a tank, that isn't needed. I just feel that late game as Zac a lot more opportunities would be given to make ballsy plays and jump in blindly if he had his passive up more.

Awesome idea... i don't see why Aatrox should get this buff and not Zac ... 300 statics cd late game really suck! And its not like his passive was that good because the enemies can smite his blobs...
